I guess its just been getting to me that there really isn't a tiki bar around here for me to go to. The mugs are one of the few thing that somebody like me can get here, a majority of the time.

Forbidden Island looks like the bar to be at. Its getting a lot of talk here and in the magazines. This limited liver mug comes with a coupon off a drink and I thought that it would have been cool to score one of these mugs and then travel to California one year to use my coupon.

Collecting mug with all the trouble is fun. I hunt all year long around here in thrift store only to get the run-of the-mill mugs that others can find or toss back in just a weekend. Event mugs, I have always asked in posts if any could pick me up one. I even PM some people that I knew were going and I don't even get a reply back on those types of things. Hell, just the event would be a joy to go to but that isn't going to happen. Its hard to get a "friend" to pick one up, cause I'm not getting any face time with people cause I don't live where the events are taking place. I really wanted the black Art 3 mug but I want to pay what the people at the event pay plus shipping and handling but not double on Ebay.

Even buying off the internet is a hunt cause you have to know when and where and be fast and not wait on it. I can do that and thats fun but I'm just not in the right state to be in the right "state" of mind when it comes to great mugs and tiki spirits.

THe funny thing is that Tiki bars where made so that people felt they were in Hawaii. Now we need then around here so we tiki lovers feel like we're in California.

I know that I'll have my day someday, i just wish it was sooner. I think that I got a plan to combat some of this but I just have to move on it. Maybe today will be the day.
